oF A home front calls and America’s gardeners are 
responding by growing more and more of their own foods. If you have 
never grown vegetables, begin now. If you have planted before, plant 
more than ever this year. 
Plenty of your own fresh vegetables all through the season will bring 
health and vitality for war-time tasks . . . Prices of most foods are much 
higher than a year ago, but you can see the cash savings in your food 
bills every day that you supply your table from your own garden... 
and your home-grown vegetables help release cars and trucks for vital 
war transportation as well. 
... and Blowers, toa!
